Roxana I was thinking of a fat quarter swap for to begin after the candle mats for food related materials. What does anyone think. I would hostess but after the candle mats are sent out, which will be after July 21. Still in time for some Christmas presents.

Swap is a Layer Cake (10" square) of any oriental-themed fabric. This should lend itself to some beautiful, large blocks that can be sashed or used for something like an Attic Windows pattern.

I am kicking around adding in a Kona solid in a coordinating color to your oriental. The Kona would be a 3" strip WOF.

That way, you would get 12 squares from each yard of oriental (with scraps left over for yourself) and then 12 strips from each yard of the Kona.

No limit on the number of swappers.. Double-ups need to be different oriental/Kona. Swap signup would close July 5th, to allow time for fun shopping!

Mail date would be set up for August 1st, with the packages to be returned by the 15th--to allow for shipping time (or shipping sooner if the swap is full and all packages have arrived.)

Each set would be in a snack-size or lunch ziplock with a return address label on each bag. And all 12 bags in a larger ziplock. SASE for the return shipment. All packages mailed to me for collection and sorting.

What does everyone think of this swap? If we have enough initial interest, Roxana will open up a separate swap for us and signups can begin.

Suzi: I like Oriental print Layer Cake theme, but would rather not do the 3" strips. I'd rather cut and make my own strips to keep them uniform. (just personal preference), but wanted to let you know that I would be interested and participate if you open up a swap group for this.
